Well, it seems that the fact of having to pay for the internet per minute because I used up all my pre-paid hours makes absolutely no difference at all to the amount of time I'm willing to spend online. Like, all of it. After all, it's only money, isn't it? I didn't have any anyway. This won't make much difference ( Read more... )

Sorry jc, but I have to ask... what does ETA stand for in Brit-speak? Because to me, it means Estimated Time of Arrival.

Just wondering!

Back before the Internet was public and way before the Web, I used to pay $6 per hour for online access. We were students and it was hard, but worth it...

Just the thought of being without Internet access now is enough to bring on a fainting fit. Smelling salts, someone!

We MUST get you sorted on this internet thing!! You MUST stay. Personally, my days would be a lot drearier without the spark that is sheldrake!!

Oh, and the "used" part of "cum loading shovel" is not making it anymore attractive! o ho ho

Oh don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. The 'free' stuff is back now anyway.

Personally, my days would be a lot drearier without the spark that is sheldrake!!

Oh pish and tush, qq! You are too kind.

what IS a cum loading shovel? anonymous May 23 2003, 13:17:09 UTC

And what else is a cum shovel used for, if not loading? Stirring? But that would be a cum paddle. Digging? But to make what?

Did I mention my thrilling experience driving a JCB? It had a front end loader but nothing about cum loading was mentioned.
Do you think it was a typo?
Cumin-loading perhaps?

Poule!

How exciting - a front end loader! Oh yes, I know all about them... Well, I don't, but I can certainly imagine.

I think the 'cum' bit may possibly have been an abbreviation. You never can tell with these farmers - very few of them can spell. Apologies to any farming folk who may be reading, but this observation is purely based on my own experience.
